Default Tube driver wins claim for unfair dismissal - strikes off?

They were putting their own spin on it as all PR agents do.


Making up such a quote is way beyond spin. It would be a direct and
easily verifiable lie.


It's still what they do.


Look at it from the other point of view (assuming the quote is true):

The RMT would be spinning the result, if they failed to mention that the
tribunal had said the dismissal was nothing to do with union activities.

But they'd be lying if they said the tribunal had found that the
dismissal *was* a result of the union activities.
